In the U.S Army all soldiers are taught everyday to live by the Seven Army Values. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage short for “LDRSHIP”. U.S soldiers are taught to memorize and train these Seven Values. They are taught that these Seven Values must play an important role in their lives. They are also played outside the army and in their personal lives. In some cases some people do not understand or realize the importance of these 7 army values. In many ways these 7 values make us leaders, and being strong leaders representing these 7 values are what make others look up to us it also sets us to become great role models towards the young and sometimes old citizens.

When it comes to honor you have to have respect and trust in someone. Trust in them that they will fulfill their duty and responsibilities and also that they will live up to there expectations. Honor is to “Live up to the army values.” Honor has to be gain by the hard work, motivation, loyalty and self service. In school we all have to honor the rules and follow the rules whether there good or bad. Not only in school but within the JROTC program. In JROTC we are taught to use honor in many ways for example when we wear our uniform we are honoring that we are proud to be in the program. Honor is summarized as the ability to carry out and live the values of respect, duty, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and personal courage everyday of our …show more content…
Well I have and I’m pretty sure others have too. Everything you do takes effort and courage big or small we all need the self motivation to help us get through our duties. In the community there will be challenges you may be scared of doing, but will have to step up and become a leader for those who look up to you. Personal Courage “Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral).” In the army it is more riskier because you are actually risking your own personal safety. In the JROTC program you're facing big decisions and impacts from the school,program, and community. Personal Courage can take a long time to build, but with time and going step by step to break free you will find yourself doing things not only for yourself, but those you never thought of helping in a
Part 1, The Basics of Leadership, Chapter 1 covers Fundamentals of Leadership while Roles and Relationships are covered in Chapter 2. This section describes and depicts levels of Leadership. We as a military are set apart from other non-military professions in that Soldiers must be prepared to use deadly force and have the courage required to close with and destroy the enemy. All leaders, from non-commissioned officers and warrant officers, to commissioned officers, inherently possess a great responsibility. The repercussions of decisions and actions impact the lives of Soldiers and their families. Additionally, these decisions affect the battlefield environment including enemy and non-combatants, both military and
Honor. What is honor? What does it truly mean to be honorable? What does it take to be honorable? Honor is a simple word that has many definitions. What is your definition of honor? For many years past, honor has been the foundation for what drove a man to be the best he could be and to do the best he could do. In English literature, many of the main characters were based off of the concept of honor. For example, in the literary works Mel Gibson’s Braveheart, the epic poem Beowulf, and the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, each main character’s ethics are determined by their way of perceiving what honor is. Honor means to be loyal, diligent, dedicated, strong willed, to stand for what you believe while ignoring all the consequences, standing up for something few others or no one else will, and being looked up to as a role model.
We can identify three major cultural dimensions that help us to understand what leaders must focus on as they guide the transition of the Army. First, professional Identity, which is guided by Soldiers at all levels who are striving for excellence in their functional specialty, i.e., HR Sergeants. Soldiers who have goals and ideals of the Army to ethically put service and duty first. HR Sergeants are trained and well educated in their field. They are taught to put Soldiers first and have great customer support skills. Second, community, the sense in which Soldiers stop thinking about “I” and start thinking “we”. The bond among units who not only believe in cohesion with Soldiers, but their families too. The HR Sergeants are there to take care of Soldiers when financial issues arise with them or their families and don’t back down until the situation is solved. Last, hierarchy, which leads to order and control and provides Soldiers with moral reference and a sense of direction. The HR Sergeant has the mentality of mission first, knowing who to contact at the next level for assistance helps get the mission
The Army's definition of leadership is “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.” An army leader is anyone who inspires and influences people to accomplish their goals. Leaders motivate people both inside and outside the army to help them pursue their goals, focus thinking, and shape decisions for the better of the army. Leadership can be acquired by anyone as long as they have the self-determination to do so. The main principles of leadership in the army are broken down in to the acronym LDRSHIP (loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, personal courage), characteristics the army aims to instilled in each solider.
Young soldiers need to learn to live the Army values, which are loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. If these values can be instilled in us then we will have everything we need to make an excellent soldier but also a great person. These values also come into play when you are sent downrange because you want to have good fellow soldiers who will always have your back know matter what the situation you find yourself in. The army values also define our character traits as a person and they teach us discipline. The Army Values are a big part of our lives us young soldiers need to learn how to maintain them.
The core values are Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. The Army’s definition respect is, “Treat people as they should be treated. In the Soldier’s Code, we pledge to “treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same.” Respect is what allows us to appreciate the best in other people. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. And self-respect is a vital ingredient with the Army value of respect, which results from knowing you have put forth your best effort. The Army is one team and each of us has something to
Honor means to have high respect or esteem towards something or someone. It also means a privilege and to regard with great respect. To me honor means to hold someone in high regard for what they have done for the betterment of something other than their self.

I see honor as three character traits; integrity, responsibility, and hard work. Integrity is by far the most important, and I feel like it is a part of each of these traits. I find honor in doing the right thing. One day I was walking on the street and I found a wallet surrounded on the outside by camouflage duct tape. I was thinking about just walking on and forgetting I ever saw it, but then I realized that someone probably needs the wallet, so I picked it up. Instead of running off and keeping all the money for myself, I brought it to the hair salon that was next door. The ladies there thanked me and told me they would find its home. After handing over the wallet, I felt a feeling of pride and honor. I made the right choice and that was a great feeling to

When I hear the word honorable, there are many different meaning that come to mind. To start, in the dictionary the word honorable has to do with people and actions that are honest, fair and worthy of respect. An honorable person is someone who believes in truth and chooses to make the right choices; a person who tries to live up to the high principles. Also, this word is used for people who are deserving of this title. For example, a judge who has the privilege of the title “ Your Honor”. The judge is merely supposed to enforce what the law is; they are the only ones with the power to put a person in jail. Then, there is the United States Military that pops up to mind when the word honorable is thrown around. The military, any of the military
In addition, Honor is to be a person of integrity, to always do what you say you’re going to do because; your word is your bond. To have honor means that one is true to his/her own beliefs not to the standards others have set for you. Not changing the things one value most in order to impress others. Showing others respect, letting them know you are listening and considering what they say and not taking them for granted. Honor is acknowledgment of something someone did or just deserved, based on ones actions. On the other hand, honor is the men and women serving their country fighting for the rights of others. The military men and women, police officers, FBI agents, CIA, DEA, ATF, and fire fighters and the many other people who serve their country...
To begin, ADRP 1 states the individual ethic begins by creating, and sustaining a professional identity as a member of the Army team, which in turn, enhances the moral fiber of the entire enterprise. Next, the Army Ethic White Paper reminds its Soldiers that as Army professionals they perform their duty according to a common ethic , eluding to the deontological precepts of this philosophy. Moreover, the white paper states, that as the Army prepares to operate in complex environments, it must anticipate the unique ethical challenges of the future, and remain committed to developing Army professionals of character, competence, and commitment. Next in importance, the joint nature of future conflict requires a common framework for ethical conduct, just as joint doctrine provides for operations and planning. Due to the exceptional importance of understanding this concept, the Army Ethic illustrates the following:
Honor is “Appreciation given to a person who is admired; has a good reputation.” according to Merriam-Webster but what does it really mean. How does it relate to modern times? One of the biggest problem in defining honor is that it means so many things to so many different people. To some it means nothing and to other it means everything. It seems to have lost a lot of meaning over the years . Honor could be defined as a hero serving in the military or simply one who is courageous.
American Honor can be described in a few different ways, but military is the biggest one. General Douglas MacArthur writes, “ In battle, and in the face of danger and death, he discloses those divine attributes which his Maker gave when He created man in His own image” (MacArthur). When you think about it military is a huge American thing. We don’t draft anymore because so many people go into the army for themselves or family. They don’t do it forcefully they do it
